How to install CDLaTeX in emacs24, on Windows 7?

Hello, I'm having trouble understanding in which directory to download the cdlatex.el script that Mr. Dominik wrote. I'm on Windows 7, emacs 24, my AUCTEX version is 11.88 and I also have Org-mode 8.2 and yasnippet installed.
When I give the command M-x org-cdlatex-mode, Emacs responds "Cannot open load file: no such file or directory, cdlatex". I've also tried adding the following lines into my .emacs file but to no avail.
<pre>(autoload 'org-cdlatex-mode "cdlatex.el" "Enter org-cdlatex mode" t)(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'turn-on-org-cdlatex)</pre>
I'm not the only person experiencing this odd behavior, infact please check this stackexchange thread: http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/19614/org-cdlatex-doesnt-work.
Can someone please confirm that yasnippet and org-cdlatex-mode are not incompatible?Do I need to download the script from ELPA as I did with other packages? I cannot find this script in the list of packages that come up if I type M-x list-packages. How can I fix this problem, I really would like to use org-cdlatex-mode under Org-mode. Thanks in advance!

You can download it here:

    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cdominik/cdlatex/master/cdlatex.el

Add it to your load path.

Hope it helps,
Rasmus

Don’t worry.  It will come!

You could check (info "eintr"); it’s a pretty cool book.

It’s configurable.  Check the folders in the variable load-path
(hint: do C-h v RET load-path RET; RET is Enter, C is Ctrl)

Try to add something like this to your init.el:

    (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name
                             (concat user-emacs-directory "lisp")))

And evaluate it in the session (C-x C-e at last closing parenthesis).
Then look up the value of load-path.  It will probably be something like
C:\home\.emacs.d\lisp (I don’t know windows very well, sorry).  Now put
the cdlatex.el in this folder.  It’s now in the Emacs load path and you,
or Org, can require it.  If you want to be fancy, you can byte-compile
cdlatex.el (M-x byte-compile-file).

I did not check this.

Hope it helps,
Rasmus
